One thing the research is very clear on:
Strength training becomes more important as we age not less.
For women in their 50s, 60s and 70s, appropriate strength training helps:
• Preserve muscle
• Support bone density
• Improve balance
• Protect joints
• Maintain independence
But “appropriate” is the key word.
This stage of life doesn’t need punishment or pressure.
It needs structure, good form, and thoughtful progression.
When strength training is done properly, it becomes one of the most powerful tools we have for ageing well 🩷
